The METROsquash scheme, which is organised by the University of Chicago, is designed to introduce youngsters to the sport while also giving them a wider motivation to succeed in other areas of their lives.

A spokeswoman from the scheme said:

"It's something inner-city kids needed ... It's not just having fun hitting a ball, but it helps them get in better schools and interact with kids from different schools and people in general".
